I originally gave the paperwork to the surgeons who did the jaw removal and reconstruction. However, since they are out of town, they passed the paperwork to the RO. If he refuses to sign off on sick leave, I�ll go to the medical oncologist. My husband is a college professor, so he knows all about getting things done by committee!

The RO has the worst people skills of anyone I have ever met. I don�t think he dislikes patients, but he seems to care only about curing cancer. Patients are treated as generic cancer carriers and care givers as annoyances. At least he has a wonderful staff of oncology nurses and a smart, outgoing nurse practitioner who are all happy to answer questions. I really don�t care how he tells us, so long as the RO tells us tomorrow that Tim is cancer free.
